I've just been looking at my collection as all my comic adaptations are shelved together.

This is going to be really tough.

Does extending it to graphic novels not help somewhat?

This has to be aimed at J.

This subject is really hard and i might not actually have a top ten.

Why because i don't think the majority of Superman, Batman, X-Men etc films are actually based on Comic stories or Graphic Novels.

This needs clarifying, Harker.

I think it needs to be just comic book character based rather than actual story adaptions or i'm screwed too. Obviously straight adaptions would qualify.

It's Harker's topic. We need clarification.

Comic characters or story adaptations. I suggested comic/graphic novel adaptations because i genuinely thought that would be far easier than suggesting superhero films. It opens up to things like From Hell or Ghost World which I believe we have at least one fan of, but it could happily include the Marvel connected universe stuff or DC. Anything from Road to Perdition to Howard the Duck. Hell the Dennis the Menace film with Walther Mattau if you likes folks.

Another difficult one... Too many to choose from. Rare instance of a Zach snyder in a top 10 for me but he's always best using someone elses work as storyboards.

Ugh... this may be the first one of these I'll have to sit out!

I could maybe scrape a Top 5.

  • Akira (1988)
  • Captain America: Civil War (2016)
  • The Dark Knight (2008)
  • Deadpool (2016)
  • Dredd (2012)
  • Ghost World (2001)
  • Iron Man (2008)
  • Kick-Ass (2010)
  • Scott Pilgrim vs. the World (2010)
  • Watchmen (2009)

Almost made it!

30 Days of Night (2007)
The Crow (1994)
The Diary of a Teenage Girl (2015)

I don't want any grief about Akira because it's a feature film based on an epic 6-part Manga series.
